"Why did Mr. A give you this gift?"
"do not know."
Hastur showed a puzzled look
He had no idea what Mr. A's purpose was.
"Why did you hide the note when you called the police?"
"I'm afraid of getting into trouble. It's better to do less than to do more."
Peter then asked a few more questions, and Hastur tried his best to cooperate with him in completing this interview.
"Don't try to lie if you encounter this kind of thing again, otherwise you will bring real trouble upon yourself."
Leaving behind this final warning, Peter stood up and left Hastur's dream.
Hastur still had his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep, his breathing was steady.
He knew that after this test, he would not attract the attention of the Church of the Goddess of Evernight for the time being, and they should pay more attention to Mr. A.
As for whether doing so would offend Mr. A?
He has already been thinking about you, so it doesn't matter whether you offend him or not.
But he dared to show up like this tonight, so he must have been prepared to be discovered, so it should be difficult for the Night Watchmen to catch him.
Hastur didn't think for too long and fell asleep.
The next day, when the news of Bud's death came out, Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren came specially.
The news they received was that Bud tried to break into a baron's house to assassinate him last night, but was shot dead by police officers who had already set up a trap nearby.
At the same time, the police also convicted Bud and listed him and Dean Dahn as accomplices for a series of tragedies in the Sunrise Poorhouse.
The police report did not mention Hasta's name, but only mentioned that a baron made a significant contribution to the case.
Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren, who were well aware of the situation, naturally understood that the baron was Hastur, and they came together after class in the morning.
"I trusted Bud too much. I didn't expect that he was the real culprit!"
Professor Wayne felt very guilty, and to express his apology, he gave Hastur the plantation deed worth tens of thousands of gold pounds. This time, Hastur did not refuse.
After all, this matter from beginning to end was all because of Professor Wayne, otherwise he would not have gone to the workhouse and been targeted by a demon, leading to what happened last night.
I earned a plantation deed by taking this risk, which was worth it.
Hastur showed great tolerance towards this, and easily moved Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren with just a few words.
After seeing off Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren, Hasta asked Butler Neil to send someone to investigate the current status of the ancestral property.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Sheriff Reed came again. In addition to asking some small questions, he also brought a reward from the police station.
2000 gold pounds!
Nearly a hundred children died in the Sunrise Workhouse case, which shocked the entire Backlund.
Their police station handled the case quickly, discovered Bud's true identity in time, and shot him on the spot, preventing the tragedy from continuing to happen, and made a good impression throughout Backlund.
He was even rewarded by the King!
As the biggest contributor to this case, Hastur naturally received his share of the reward.
According to Sheriff Reed, the king even considered giving a direct reward.
But he couldn't be sure whether it was true or not, he just heard his boss mention it.
Hastur was naturally very happy to have received another bounty for nothing.
But then, he froze.
Half of the credit for this bounty was given to him by Mr. A.
Otherwise, with the Nighthawk's ability, it would be difficult to kill a hiding demon in a short period of time.
If Hader hadn't died, this case wouldn't have been settled so quickly.
All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price.
He didn't think he could accept the gift from Mr. A with a clear conscience.
If I can't find out Mr. A's purpose as soon as possible, I will pay the price for it in the future.
……
The Hall of Stars.
Hastur appeared as the Lord of the Stars, his eyes looking towards the star where the Djinn was, and he swung out a chain of order to lead the Djinn to come.
Chapter 67 Some words on the shelf
First of all, I would like to thank all readers for your support from the beginning of the book to the present.
If there are no accidents, this book will be on the shelves around 12 noon tomorrow.
If you think the writing is good, you can give me an initial subscription to support it, and then continue to support the book.
It will be released on the shelves first with six chapters, one chapter has 3,000 words, which is about 18,000 words.
If the first order can reach 500, I will continue to add more updates. (I personally think it’s a bit difficult)
As for rewards and extra updates... new authors won't engage in this kind of thing.
After it is put on the shelves, there are usually two to three updates, depending on how many manuscripts I have saved.
As for the book group, I will create one later.
……
Now that the business is done, let’s talk about something else.
Ahem, actually I originally planned to publish ten updates, but I happened to play a game a few days ago and didn’t code for three or four days, so I didn’t have enough space to save the manuscript.
There are really many games that I haven't completed, for example, I've only reached the fifth chapter of the first round of Balance of God, Cuphead has reached the third island, and Tamaki has only reached Stonewell City. Alas, I've been playing them on and off, and I really don't want to play them anymore.
There is also the time-consuming bird soul that has not been able to rush to the jade room...
……
Let’s talk about the creation of this book and some of the problems that arose in the early stages.
For example, the plot design of the dungeon god was criticized by many readers.
When I started writing, I knew the pace would be slower because I placed The Birth of Crane after it was released, which would make it harder to attract readers.
Drawing on the djinn was a little bit of fun designed to make it less boring, but it seems to have failed.
Why not set the time point after Klein's birth from the beginning?
Because Klein upgrades too quickly in the later stage, the protagonist needs to be ahead of Klein in the early stage so that he can grow together later and not fall behind seriously.
Those members of the Tarot Society obviously couldn't keep up with Klein's upgrade speed.
I predict that the protagonist will be promoted to sequence 7 and Klein will be born.
……
I personally also like to bury the thread, which is more in line with the mysterious rhythm, but it is easy to fall into the situation where those who imitate me will die.
There are many hidden clues in it that have not been revealed and written, such as the relationship between Hastur and the King in Yellow, which existence Hastur prayed to during the resurrection ceremony, what happened to Voltaire, the golden box, and Professor Wayne The true identity, Germani’s witch thread...
Why is writing so slow in the early stages?
Firstly, the fast pace is prone to collapse and the ending. Secondly, the protagonist is different from Klein. The protagonist needs to stay on the stage of Backlund most of the time and rarely goes out for real adventures. Backlund needs enough to follow the storyline.
About the Stars Returner.
I am very interested in and understand the Cthulhu system. Although I have never played in a running group, I am not a newbie.
I have read books like "Call of Cthulhu", "Rat in the Wall", "Dunwich", "Pearman's Pictures", "Color of the Stars", "At the Mountains of Madness", etc.
……
That’s all for now. There’s only one update tonight, so I’ll leave an extra chapter for storage.
Thanks again to the readers for their support.
Chapter 68 Mother Tree of Desire, Witness
The sea.
On the Dawn, in the captain's cabin, a familiar starry sky appeared and disappeared again.
Bernadette looked at the scattered starlight with an incomprehensible expression.
The starlight falling from the sky above was like an insurmountable and uncontestable Milky Way.
No matter what kind of seal she uses, she can't fix the starry sky, let alone trace the source.
"This is the power of the stars. Go and search. Finding His followers is the easiest and safest way for you to understand Him."
The Djinn sighed and looked at the starry sky above his head without saying a word.
His clone has passed through the starry sky and arrived at the palace of stars.
Arriving at this palace again, He was much calmer, glanced at Hastur, and then moved his gaze to the starry sky above his head.
The first time he came, he had already made a guess. This time he looked at it seriously for a long time and became more and more sure of his thoughts.
Every star in that starry sky represents an alien god and the old days, and he is one of them.
The Fallen Mother Goddess, the Mother Tree of Desire, the Superstar Lord, the Ring of Destiny, the Original Hunger, etc., may all be in those stars.
This Lord of the Stars, whose true name is hard to know, stares at the stars and watches their every move when he is idle and bored every day.
Looking down at other existences from a higher latitude... Is He really not a high-dimensional overlooker?
The Djinn looked at Hastur again, looked at it quietly, and felt that it didn't look like it.
He has been in contact with the high-dimensional overlooker, more than once, and is quite familiar with him.
"Who are you?" The Djinn asked his doubts again.
"Don't you want to find out the answer yourself?" Hastur glanced at him lightly.
